The quaint little town of Santa Barbara... once a thriving settlement nested against cliffs, the local silver mines providing boon to the populace, Santa Barbara is now a ghost town. Only the dire Scorpions and vile Coyotes, two opposing gangs, battle for dominance, loot and glory in here... and time has come to spill blood once more!Welcome to SHOOTOUT!
It's a team-based deathmatch where people shoot each other with revolvers, rifles and shotguns!
Hide behind barrels, take aim, and snipe that sonuvawitch who killed your brother (or whatever your justification is)!

RULES:
Each Turn, all of the Characters currently playing SHOOTOUT must post an action. These actions are processed according to the reversed order of applications.
Actions available are:
SHOOT: You shoot at the targeted enemy, expending 1 ammo of your weapon.
AIM: You spend the time carefully aiming at the Target; your next SHOOT against that Target will grant +3 to Hit.
COVER: You take cover behind a nearby object, getting bonus Evasion. Read below for specifics!
RUN'N'GUN: You run and shoot at the targeted enemy; the running lowers your Hit by 1 but increases Evasion by 3.
ITEM/RELOAD: You expend 1 Item from your list of Items, or Reload your weapon with Ammo Item.
COVER:
Cover represents hiding behind a nearby object; each Object can provide cover for only 1 shooter at a time.
At any given time, there are 3 Covers for each Gang. If one is destroyed, another is immediately spawned. All Covers (starting and new) are randomly chosen from list below.
Each Cover has two stats: Toughness, and Evasion.
Toughness refers to Health of the object; once it drops below 0, the object is counted as pulverized by enemy fire, and you no longer benefit from its bonus Evasion.
Evasion refers to the bonus Evasion given to you when you hide behind the specific object.
When your Enemy attacks you, and misses while you're behind Cover, the Cover's Toughness is damaged instead.
You remain at COVER until it is destroyed, or you RUN'N'GUN away from it - or you get killed, obviously.
Types of Covers:
Barrel: 15 Toughness, 2 Evasion.
Saguaro Cactus: 15 Toughness, 4 Evasion.
Large Crate: 20 Toughness, 2 Evasion.
Wooden Fence: 20 Toughness, 3 Evasion.
Wooden Wall: 20 Toughness, 5 Evasion.
Metal-wrought Box: 25 Toughness, 3 Evasion.
Brickwall Piece: 40 Toughness, 5 Evasion.
Flat Boulder: 50 Toughness, 3 Evasion.
Large Rock: 60 Toughness, 6 Evasion.
SKILLS:
You can pick each Skill only once!
Big One: Mutually exclusive with Small Frame. +4 Health, -1 Damage received, -2 Evasion.
Eagle Eye: +2 to Hit.
Fleet-footed: +2 to Evasion when NOT behind Cover.
Gunslinger: Revolver only. +1 Hit and +1 Damage with Revolver.
Healthy: +3 Health.
Jack-of-all-Stats: +1 Health, +1 to Hit, +1 to Evasion.
Quick Load: Revolver only. You reload up to 3 Ammo at once instead of 1.
Rifleman: Rifle only. +1 Hit and +1 Damage with Rifle.
Sharpshooter: Rifle only. +1 Hit with Rifle; extra +2 Hit when AIM'ing.
Shottyman: Shotgun only. +1 Hit and +1 Damage with Shotgun.
Small Frame: Mutually exclusive with Big One. -1 Health, +2 Evasion, extra +1 to Evasion when behind Cover.
Triggerhappy: Revolver only. Doubles your attacks (SHOOT, RUN'N'GUN).
COMBAT:
When a character attacks someone from opposite gang, their Hit is rolled against enemy Evasion. Hit/Evasion rolls use 1d6 dice.
If the Hit is higher than Evasion, the person is shot and Damage is rolled.
The Damage roll depends on weapon used, as well as on certain skills and items.
For example, Joe, with Revolver, SHOOTS Jack, who's hiding behind Wooden Wall.
Joe is both a Gunslinger and an Eagle Eye, giving him a total of +3 to Hit.
Jack is Jack-of-all-Stats, giving him +1 to Evasion, and the Barrel provides further +5 to Evasion.
Joe rolls a 6, Jack rolls a 3.
Joe: 6+1+2 = 9
Jack: 3+1+5 = 9
Joe's total Hit is NOT higher than Jack's total Evasion, meaning that Joe misses Jack, and the Wooden Wall receives damage instead.
Jack lives to see another turn, and has a chance to shoot the bastard back!
